analysis of the social service-planning concept
of the multi-purpose micro-region association of baja
Determining the basic principles
After determining the vision, the concept should definitely deal with those principles
which are considered fundamentally important and to be followed by both the
decision makers and service providers and the recipients during the provision of
the services concerned.
These principles include the following:
• the right to a dignified life and its inherent nature
• providing a social minimum for everyone
• providing opportunity for enforcing the social rights
• the man, the individuals and the families should be in the focus
• rejection of any kind of discrimination and prejudice
• emphasising the supportive role of social institutions
• protection of individuals and families, the smooth coexistence of the local society
• open social policy, clarification of the role of local government.
Determining the values
The values prevail in the local social policy and during providing social services:
• social safety
• the social care and services are basically intended to correct the upset social balance
• differentiation
• providing client-friendly care and services.
Analysis of Service-planning Concept
The concept made by the local government of the settlement should match the concepts
prepared by the association, the county and metropolitan governments. The concept made
by the association should match the concepts prepared by the county and metropolitan
governments, besides, in case of multi-purpose micro-region association, the plans and
programs providing the coordinated development of the area of the micro region. This
has been achieved in the case of the Multi-Purpose Micro-Region Aassociation of Baja.
Social basic services: According to the relevant law, all local governments must provide
meal and home help within their respective administrative areas, besides they should
provide access to other forms of basic services (especially to family-support services). At
the settlements having more than two thousand permanent inhabitants, from the other
forms of basic services it is the family-support that must also be provided, while in case
of settlements with more than three thousand inhabitants both family-support and day
care services must be provided.
